Name: Salix hookeriana Seasonally Flooded Shrubland Alliance Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of... Description: Communities within this cold-deciduous, seasonally flooded shrubland alliance seldom occur more than 3 km from saltwater, often in stabilized dunes just behind the open beach. They are limited to the wetter areas where water stands to some extent during the year on deflation (wind erosion) plains and swales. These associations are found in habitats that are seasonally flooded and saturated with freshwater. Information on soils was not available. They are dominated by Salix hookeriana. Other codominant shrubs can include Populus balsamifera, Populus fremontii, and Alnus rubra. The understory is sparse but can include Rubus ursinus, Baccharis pilularis, and Morella californica (= Myrica californica). Adjacent upslope communities typically are Picea sitchensis with Cornus sericea.  Accession Code: VB.CC.18607.SALIXHOOKERIANA Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
